FUN FACT: Renewables are NINE times cheaper than gas. It's almost like we should switch to energy sources that cost less and don't burn the planet.

I see that many people complain that peat-free composts are not as good as peat based ones. I have not used peat in a growing medium for over 25 years and have never had any problems at all. Some are better than others but ALL are better than using peat!

Well this ends a week of shitty covid (for me at least). Starting to feel normal again, just hoping beyond hope that it doesn’t cause my wife a long covid relapse again.

I thought I was ahead of where I usually was. But it’s 2am and I’m not in bed yet. Expect the usually 6 hours sleep at most. Christmas Eve isn’t for snoozing it seems.

Terribly sad news about the recent passing of Archer Maclean. He made some truly sensational games, from IK+ to Archer Maclean's Pool, and used to write wonderful columns for the magazine. Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family.

We take R&D very seriously; it allows us to stay ahead of the game and continuously improve. Now, we're looking for a Senior Game Artist to support the team, helping to deliver the best-looking and best-performing multiplayer experiences in the industry: ow.ly/ilhS50M8ov5

So this is pretty wild. It seems like Starfox could work on Genesis/MD without additional hardware. Though, that also makes me wonder how it would fare with the SVP chip as this demo is already often twice the frame-rate of the Super NES original.

Rather enjoying GoldenEye, memories flooding back after all this time… and now I actually recognise some of the faces. Well done my old chums at Rare on getting the release out there Also, no way I’m hitting the times for the cheat menu options on Facility this time

Been away from Twitter for a year or so, what's happened? Is it still a great forum for discussion? :P Considering deleting this account if it's still not possible to curate my own feed nicely, I used to like that Tweetdeck thing before it got all messed up.
